JUMP-STARTING
A VEHICLE
ENG|NF
Use in welt-ventilated area. Keep hands,
hair, clothing and jewelry clear of fan
blades, belts, pulleys and other parts that
may cause injury.
1.
Turn ignition off before making cable
connections.
2.
Rest the 950 on a flat, stable surface
near the vehicle battery and away
from moving engine parts.
3.
Connect the red clamp to the positive
terminal of the vehicle battery.
4.
Connect the black clamp to an unpainted and unmoving part of the
vehicle chassis or engine block.
CAUTION: If you have connected the
clamps backwards, an audio alarm
wilt sound. Reverse the connections
and the audible alarm will stop.
NOTE: If after following steps 1-4
the display remains blank, check for
a good connection on both jaws of
the clamps. If the display still doesn't
light, hold down the display switch for
5 seconds. If the display doesn't blink,
the external battery voltage is too low
to be detected by the 950.
5.
6.
Digital Display: The charge percentage of the vehicle's battery wilt be
displayed for 5 seconds. The display
wilt blink to indicate proper connection
and will then show the charge percentage of both batteries combined
(950 and vehicle)
Turn the key and crank the engine.
The display wilt count down from
10 seconds. If the engine does not
start, wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to crank the vehicle again.
This permits the battery and relay to
8.
cool down. Only attempt to crank the
engine when the display is blinking
(relay is engaged).
Due to a unique safety feature, the
clamp power is automatically shut
off 10 seconds
after the engine
starts. This eliminates the problem of
sparking when removing the clamps.
Remove and store the clamps on
the ears located on the back of the
case.
Charge the 950 as soon as possible
after jump-starting.
CAUTION: To prevent sparking, NEVER
allow the clamps to touch together or
to contact the same piece of metal.
And, never attempt to charge a frozen
battery.
NOTE: In the rare case of jump-starting
a vehicle that has a positive-grounded
vehicle electrical system, connect the
black clamp to the negative terminal of
the vehicle battery. Then connect the
red clamp to an unpainted and unmoving part of the vehicle chassis or engine
block. If you are unsure of the nature of
the vehicle's electrical grounding system,
check the owner's manual of the vehicle
or call the Customer Technical Assistance
number: 1-800-SEARS-64.
POWERING
A 12V DC DEVICE
The Portable Power 950 is a power
source for all 12 volt DC accessories that
are equipped with a 12V accessory plug.
The DC accessory outlet has a 15-amp
automatic overload protection
circuit
breaker. The breaker will automatically
reset after an overload occurs.
To operate a 12V DC device:
1.
Open the protective cover of the DC
power outlet on the front panel of the
Portable Power 950.
2.
Plug the 12V DC device into the DC
power outlet, and turn on the 12V DC
device (if required).
If the 12V DC device draws more than
15A, the internal circuit breaker of the
Portable Power 950 wilt momentarily
disconnect power to the device. If this
occurs, unplug the device and the
circuit breaker will automatically reset
after several seconds.
3,
12V DC ELECTRICAL
DEVICE
Appliance Type
4,
Charge the Portable Power 950 as
soon as possible after each use.
Because the DC power outlet is internally wired directly to the internal
battery, extended operation of a 12V
DC device may result in excessive
battery drain.

3.
Vehicle and Portable Power 950 After 5 seconds, the display blinks
and switches to show the combined
total starting power of the vehicle and
950 batteries.
You have 10 seconds to attempt to start
your vehicle from the time you turn your
key. You can crank as many times as
necessary during these 10 seconds. After
that time, the clamps will shut off and there
wilt be no power available for one minute.

in warm environments. Leaving the battery
in a discharged state may result in permanent battery damage. To ensure satisfactory performance and avoid permanent
damage, charge the internal battery every
2 to 3 months. The Portable Power 950
may be left permanently connected to the
AC walt outlet. Store in a cool dry place.
2.
Pop out the protective
cover.
3.
Gently grasp the bulb and twist
counter-clockwise
one quarter-turn
to unscrew the bulb.
4.
Insert a replacement bulb of the same
type and rating, and twist clockwise
one quarter-turn to screw in the new
bulb.
5.
Replace the tens cover.
6.
Test the light by switching the light on
and off.
